VS Code registry-mcp — national company registries list_countries

How to: VS Code registry-mcp — national company registries list_countries

client:VS Code transport:streamable-http tool:list_countries

Add registry-mcp — national company registries to VS Code

  1. 01

    Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "servers": {
    "registry-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.foretak.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

    Ask for something list_countries does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls list_countries itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that registry-mcp — national company registries's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Requires agent mode. MCP: Open User Configuration puts the same block in every workspace. VS Code docs

Set these first

registry-mcp — national company registries will not start until these are set, so list_countries never becomes available.

  • REGISTRY_MCP_CONTACT_EMAIL
  • REGISTRY_MCP_CACHE_PATH
  • COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY
  • BOLAGSVERKET_CLIENT_ID
  • BOLAGSVERKET_CLIENT_SECRET
  • BOLAGSVERKET_ENVIRONMENT

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
